Many are perfect period pieces to add authenticity to the Living History campsite.

Check back often as items are being added all the time.

NOTE: Many of these items are original antique pieces and it is important to keep in mind that they are over 150 years old. Each has seen many owners and has been handled many times over the course of its existence and as a result the piece has developed a history of its own. They rarely distract from the piece and often add to the overall character of the item. Keep in mind when you receive your item that you are not handling a modern copy, you are holding a piece of history, an item that has been around for a very long time and will, with proper care, be around for a long time to come.
